NULLKAMOTO is an homage to both Matt Kane's NOTKAMOTO and the original Rare Pepe NAKAMOTO cards. The piece at once connects and reinterprets the two by boiling down the images to bitmaps, extracting the most bare bone elements, the pixels, of image-processing and graphical techniques.
A custom tool was developed to resample and transform the images by representing the range of values with varying wave frequencies and amplitudes, each individual wave-curve reconfigures the two parameters locally over time. As opposed to utilizing colors and patterns like Matt did, I have instead reduced the image to the reinterpretation of brightness value and emphasized the blending between past and present...
